31 – Living Together 2

So far, problems have arisen that are difficult for Rumi to handle.

Because Rumi’s talent was worthy of being called a genius.

If nothing else, the ability to acquire and apply magic was at a significant level within the worldview.

‘In fact, even though he had not received any special education, he was able to take first place in the entrance exam, beating out children from famous families and famous new students who were called magic geniuses.’

You should be able to roughly guess the level of talent that Rumi possesses.

That’s why the amount of talent that pops up from time to time was at an incredible level…

The problem is that even in this situation, he was showing me a glimpse of his talent.

‘Instant tension magic.’

In order to just pull me inside the blanket, they use tension magic, which requires considerable technical skill, to pull me inward.

Of course, I could have easily hit this level.

I was curious about the reason for her pull, so I obediently grabbed her, and Rumi made me bury my face in her large mana bag.

“…… “

Rumi’s unique scent, a soft yet sweet scent, envelopes the tip of her nose.

I paused for a moment due to this completely unexpected situation, and slowly pushed away Rumi’s body, trying to distance myself.

As if that would never happen, she pulls me back and makes me bury my face in her chest.

‘I guess I’m hungry for affection.’

I haven’t felt the warmth of people for a long time, so I think I’m subconsciously attracting things around me… That method was too much.

I tried to force Rumi away, saying I would hug her later and hand her a doll.

Rumi must have woken up and slowly begins to open her eyes with a half-asleep look on her face.

“… Ah … eww?”

Then he made a strange voice and looked at me.

Are you gradually becoming more aware of the situation?

In the end, I opened my eyes and got up from the bed as if I was going to jump out.

“Kya, kya… “Ahh!”

Then he let out a short scream, then bowed repeatedly and began to apologize.

“Sin, sin, sorry!”

Fortunately, he seemed to be aware that he had done this.

I answered calmly, feeling fortunate that no misunderstanding occurred.

“… Okay.”

“Yes, yes.”

I watched Rumi fidget and didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, the thought crossed my mind, ‘She was sleeping soundly. How does she know that she did it?’

It wasn’t that important, so I tried to shake it off and talk about it.

“You look very tired, so get some rest first. “If you are hungry or need anything, you can always tell the maid.”

“… “Thank you.”

I quickly nodded at Rumi’s words and immediately went out.

* * * * * *

Rumi clasped both of her hands and placed them on her own chest as she watched her body slip out of her.

The sound of a pounding heart.

I took a deep breath, thinking that this was the first time since I was a child that my heart had trembled this much.

‘I… I feel like it’s not me anymore.’

I was slapping both cheeks, thinking to myself that I didn’t know why I was doing this.

Soon, to come to her senses, she shook her face a few times and smiled brightly.

‘I’m glad though… ‘Because I don’t hate it.’

To be honest, when Dern came out of the lab and knocked on the door, I woke up with a start.

‘If I hear even the slightest vibration at home, I have to go to work right away.’

She woke up and came to her senses, as she always did.

When she realized that she had been sleeping on the floor, she couldn’t get up and kept her eyes tightly closed.

‘I was embarrassed… ‘

She wouldn’t have been so embarrassed if she had fallen asleep against the wall.

With those thoughts in her mind, she continued to pretend to sleep when Dern carefully picked her up and laid her down on the bed near her.

A kindness that seems excessive.

Others tend to treat you like a dirty bug when you sleep like this.

Rather than treating it like that, they moved it carefully as if moving something precious, and it was the biggest surprise of all this year.

‘Around the time when I was so embarrassed that I was just holding my heart.’

Dern covers her with a blanket and she tries to leave him.

Without realizing it, she unconsciously pulled on her clothes and unleashed tension magic.

‘After that, I just committed it. I hugged her randomly, telling her to do whatever she wants.’

While she was enjoying Dern, she finally came to her senses, and she awkwardly pretended to wake up…

“It’s okay.”

Contrary to expectations, Dern forgave him and left.

I was thinking about what had happened earlier.

He smiled like an idiot as he smelled Dern’s scent that still lingered in his arms, then stood up and looked at her door.

‘If you wait in front of him again… ‘Would you like a hug?’

No, I don’t even want to be hugged.

She thought it would be good if they just paid attention to her.

Deciding to try again next time, I closed my eyes and held both of her hands tightly together.

* * * * *

I sat down and looked at the large-scale area attack magic that was finally completed.

‘Finally completed it.’

Making the magic itself wasn’t that difficult.

I was trying to create a magic that had three things: efficiency, power, and, above all, what I consider most important, ‘immediacy.’

I constantly saw things that were disappointing and lacking, so I had to go through revision after revision, so it ended up taking longer than I thought.

‘Still, I completed something, so it’s okay.’

No matter what happens, as long as a conclusion is reached, there is no big problem.

I stretched out, deciding to try out the magic I had created soon.

‘Then, let’s go check to see if Rumi is okay.’

I could have run away with an IOU and a letter like last time, so I went to check just in case.

Fortunately, I was able to receive information from the maid who said she was asleep in the room.

I decided to let Rumi rest for a while longer and then get ready for school.

‘Now there are two things left to do.’

Attending a dinner party invited by the Herdi family.

Killing Ariel and selling her to her ruins.

I decided to hurry up and head to the academy.

When I arrived at the academy, I saw Delia sitting in her seat with a tired expression.

When I asked him why he wanted to do that.

“Ah… “The number of corpses increased exponentially last night, so I couldn’t sleep while dealing with it.”

I heard about a free funeral.

I sensed something strange about what he said and asked about it in detail.

“The number of corpses has increased?”

“Ah… huh. Even by rough estimate, about three times? There used to be a lot, but this time the number increased significantly, as if there was some kind of fight.”

I couldn’t help but think about those words for a moment.

The fact that the number of human corpses has increased so much means that something has happened.

Because I had no idea what the incident was.

‘In the novel, when Rumi was despairing of not being able to overcome the aftereffects that occurred on her rooftop, she continued to be blatantly harassed by other guys, including Dern, so I don’t think anything major happened to her.’

If you see the number of corpses blatantly increasing like this.

There was a high probability that the Celestial God Church or demons were up to something.

‘However, the demons only appeared in the middle part.’

It would be correct to say that there is a high probability that the Heavenly God Church is trying something.

I first tried to ask Delia something to gather information about the Heavenly God Church.

‘No, I don’t want to get involved.’

For now, I turned my attention, deciding to find out through people other than Delia.

‘In that case, we need a person or organization to take charge of the information investigation.’

The problem is that the information guild is controlled by humans from the Celestial Church, so there is a high probability that you will face a backlash if you entrust this request.

‘Other places have poor quality of information or poor skills.’

Leaving it to us was more likely to cause damage.

When that thought occurred to me, I thought about it for a while.

I immediately thought of an idea and laughed a little.

‘Now that I think about it, there was one guy who helped Rumi in the mid to late stages.’

She got up from her seat, feeling that if she could somehow roast and boil that thing, it would definitely be helpful in many ways.

“Huh? “Where are you going?”

At those words, I nodded and spoke briefly.

“Art room.”

“Uh… now? “The lecture will start in 10 minutes.”

I checked the time written in the grimoire and gave a short answer.

“I’ll be back before then.”

Anyway, there were many things to consider in order to attract that guy.

Deciding to just throw away the rice cakes for now, I headed to the art room.

The element of magic is full of things that break existing common sense.

On Earth, things are created that are unthinkable.

One of them was space expansion magic.

‘Of course, there is only space expansion magic on the market that is of a much lower quality than the ancient magic I learned and is at the level of a child’s joke.’

Even if it’s just a joke to those kids, if you have expensive magic stones, you can ‘create a new space’.

There have been cases where secret spaces were secretly created in this way.

I looked in silence at the strange painting hanging in the corner of the art room, then turned around, throwing a note ‘into the painting.’

‘With this, the bread and butter has been thrown away, so we can go.’

I walked slowly, thinking of catching Espin, the youngest inspector who was quietly watching me in the picture.
